AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Sheaffer 300 set, consisting of a fountain pen and a mechanical pencil, is in very good overall condition, showing light use and care, consistent with high-quality writing instruments.
The black lacquered resin surfaces retain a uniform shine, with minimal micro-scratches visible only under detailed observation, typical of normal use. No dents, cracks, or material loss are observed. The metallic details in gold tone maintain their finish very well, with no significant wear or corrosion.
The fountain pen features a 14-karat solid gold nib in excellent condition, properly aligned and without visible deformations. The filling system is functioning correctly, and the screw cap closes with precision and smoothness.
The mechanical pencil maintains its operational mechanism, with firm actuation and appropriate response, without looseness. The metal tip is well preserved, with no structural damage.
Overall, this is a fully functional set, aesthetically very well crafted and ready for immediate use, ideal for both collectors and those seeking a classic Sheaffer set in honest and professional condition.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
